Die of Death Roblox gameplay - Survivor vs Pursuer match

What is Die of Death?

Die of Death is an asymmetric multiplayer horror game on Roblox, developed by Forgotten Studios. Each match pits 1-2 Pursuers (killers) against 4-6 Survivors. Survivors must complete objectives and escape before time runs out. Pursuers must eliminate all Survivors before they escape.

Choosing Your Side

Play Pursuer If You...

  • Like being the hunter, not the hunted
  • Enjoy high-pressure decision making
  • Want to control the pace of the match
  • Prefer solo play over team coordination

Play Survivor If You...

  • Enjoy stealth and outsmarting opponents
  • Work well in a team
  • Like the thrill of close escapes
  • Want a more relaxed learning curve

Your First 10 Minutes

Minute 0-2: Load In

As Survivor, check your item loadout. As Pursuer, identify which character you're playing and review abilities. Take a deep breath — the first match is always chaotic.

Minute 2-5: First Contact

Survivors: spread out and find objectives. Don't group up — one Pursuer finding the group is a team wipe. Pursuers: patrol between objectives. Use tracking abilities to locate the nearest Survivor.

Minute 5-8: Mid-Game

Half the objectives should be done by now. Survivors who died are spectating. Pursuers should have at least 1-2 kills. This is where map knowledge starts to matter — learn the layouts!

Minute 8-10: Endgame

Last objectives or last Survivors. Pursuers: camp the remaining objectives. Survivors: use items aggressively — you won't need them after you escape.
